4. Lounge by the pool
While it wouldn’t be super relaxing to have your spa party at the public pool, it is possible to rent a private pool for your spa party at a reasonable price! On Peerspace, you can easily search spaces for rent with gorgeous pools for under $100 an hour.
For example, check out this large swimming pool and outdoor area for rent in Indiana for just $50 an hour! This venue comes with seating for 20+, two umbrellas, lounge chairs, and more. Check out all the pictures and book the space for your spa party on Peerspace.
5. Create your own soaps
A fun DIY party favor to consider for all your guests is homemade soap! Making soap is a fairly easy and inexpensive process, making it a shoo-in for cheap spa party ideas. The basic ingredients are oil, water, lye, and whatever you want to add for smell and color. Just keep in mind that some soap recipes have a really long curing process, so make sure you know how long it will take soap to cure before you start making it!
6. Make a soothing music playlist
Relaxing music for your spa party is a total must — and it’s totally free to do! Some apps like Spotify already have great playlists ready-made for your party. However, you can also opt to make your own from scratch too! You may want to consider adding natural sounds (like birdsong and pulsing rain) or calming music from other cultures (like Native American, Chinese, or Japanese traditional music) to your playlist.
7. Decorate sleep masks
Add some artistic flair to your spa party by inviting guests to decorate sleep masks at your event! The cost will likely be minimal as all you need is fabric paint and plain sleep masks. From there, you can invite guests to write their names in fabric paint on their masks or come up with adorable and unique designs!
8. Offer up cheap, healthy treats
Don’t forget about snacks when you are coming up with all your cheap spa party ideas! Purchasing seasonal fruit and veg is a great (and healthy) way to keep costs down at your spa party. Deviled eggs, simple charcuterie boards, and overnight oats are other cheap yet tasty snack options.
9. Taste test cheap wine
Wine may seem out of the budget for cheap spa party ideas — but hear us out! Ask each guest to bring a bottle of wine to the party that they purchased for under $15. Then, at the party, make taste-testing them all into a fun activity! Each person can explain their bottle, and what drew them towards it when buying it. Then, all your guests can vote on their favorite at the end of the party. This keeps costs low for the party planner, isn’t a huge expense for guests, and adds tons of fun to your spa party!
